What happened?

I am working with NetCDF files produced from the Model Evaluation Tools (MET).

This feature in xarray v2023.8.0

allows reading of datasets where a dimension name is associated with a multidimensional variable

lets me read the file where the dimension names lat and lon match the coordinate names lat lon (see https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/issues/1246). This is wonderful! Thank you for this 🎉🙌🏻

```python import urllib import xarray as xr

download a sample MET file

urllib.request.urlretrieve( "https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/raw/main_v11.1/data/poly/NCEP_masks/WEST_mask.nc", "WEST_mask.nc", )

open MET file

ds = xr.open_dataset( "WEST_mask.nc", engine="netcdf4", ) ds ```

However, one issue I've run into is that the plotting accessor doesn't seem to work for this case

```python ds.WEST.plot()

OUT: ValueError: coordinate 'lat' is a DataArray dimension, but it has shape (110, 147) rather than expected shape 110 matching the dimension size ```

To overcome this, I had to rename the dims

python ds.rename_dims({"lat": "y", "lon": "x"}).WEST.plot()

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the plot accessor to work without needing to rename the dimensions.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

```Python import urllib import xarray as xr

download a sample MET file

urllib.request.urlretrieve( "https://github.com/dtcenter/MET/raw/main_v11.1/data/poly/NCEP_masks/WEST_mask.nc", "WEST_mask.nc", )

ds = xr.open_dataset( "WEST_mask.nc", engine="netcdf4", ) ds.WEST.plot() ```

MVCE confirmation

  • [X] Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
  • [X] Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
  • [X] Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
  • [X] New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
